Melt butter and oil with 1 teaspoon of salt. Chop into halves and toss in pan to lightly cover. Use pan or lay flat in a tray and top them off with pepper. Put in 375 degree oven for 35-40 minutes. Take out and throw some shaved dark chocolate flakes on top.

When I cut alcohol and refined sugar for a couple of months I was much happier and more productive.

Yet I eventually turned back to occasional sugary snacks and excessive levels of alcohol. Go figure. The Matrix was right when it indicated that [some] humans can't deal with perfection. Short term pleasure is just so much more tempting than long term satisfaction.

No matter what I do, I've lately been fucking up everything I try to cook. Probably mostly because I'm unstable and unable to focus but yeah. It hits pretty hard when I spend hours making something that winds up right in the trash, it's a personal failure and massive waste of time, money, food, energy, etc.

Throwing the lot into the bin after barely tasting it is good enough for me. If there are other people around I don't let them taste it. The whole thing basically amounts to a hissy fit, but it consoles me by letting me imagine I have standards.

Sounds like some lame after school PSA, but treat it as a learning experience. Try to figure out what you did wrong, and what you'll do differently next time.

Can't say I've ever really felt emotionally devastated or anything. A lot of times when I'm trying to make something new I pretty much go in expecting it's gonna suck the first time. I'm at a point now where I've got enough basic skill that the result is usually edible, but this certainly wasn't always the case, and either way whether the next time I make it is better or...Comment too long.

>>7291393>The whole thing basically amounts to a hissy fit,Pretty much this. It's never trash worthy, but sometimes it's "I'm not serving this to anyone," not in the sense that it's bad, but moreso lackluster.

I wish to eat cheap, healthy, and incredibly easy. Is this possible? It does not have to be tasty or original. I do not mind eating the same thing every day, as long as it gets me all the vitamins and nutrients required for health.

Pic unrelated. I want to be all those things, except don't care about fake.

Rice and beans are cheap and there's a lot of different ways you can prepare them or work them into a meal. Chicken thighs/legs are usually pretty cheap, as are whole chickens.

Don't bother buying just breasts unless you get them on sale for a decent price. Even then, try to get bone-in split breasts since they're cheaper than boneless/skinless and the bone helps them stay moist when cooking.

Definitely try to get whole chickens and roast them, then save the carcass and use it to make stock. Save some of the leftover chicken as well and use that, the stock and some vegetables to make soup.

Get whatever vegetables look good and are on sale and get some bags of cheap frozen vegetables as well.

Also if you eat bread regularly, start baking your own, it's much better quality and cheaper than buying the shitty preservative filled loaves at the supermarket.

Your oven or burners might be different. Your measurements don't always have to be exact. Experiment with your cooking and get a taste for what you like. It is not an exact science and perfectionism will only hurt you if you are lacking experience.
